Dr. Weird watched as Epoch and the remainder of his strike team enter the Oval Office. He took enjoyment from the look on Epoch face as he saw the bits and pieces of the Secret Service strewn about the room. He shouted the traditional heroes banter and launched himself at Dr. Weird, but he missed and almost hit the president instead.

He could see that Tang Le and Wigraf were already engaged with the other two Epoch brought with him.

“So you want to play then eh boy, well I’ve got the time.” He raised his beam saber high over head and brought it done on Epoch.

Epoch knew he was acting too hastily, and needed think harder before acting. The saber came flying in his direction, and he threw his left arm up in hopes of blocking it to some extent with his stab-proof, self healing, armor. It might not work, and he knew it, so he had an alternative.

With success, the saber missed him and Epoch reappeared next to the president who was taking cover and holding a phone. "I need to get you out of here, Mr. President." Epoch grabbed him by the arm and Obama nodded.

Mela watched the little grey man duck beneath her projectiles. Seriously? Fuck You.She watched as he picked up...a lamp. Oh, PLEASE do not be able to electrocute me, Bumelia thought as she shot another round at his scaly head.

Epoch was popping in and out of the room, when he reappeared he grabbed the President and popped back out. Dr. Weird was impressed with his ability. Before he could say or do anything else Epoch popped back into the room and went to deliver a kick up side Dr. Weirds head.

Alyson became defensive seeing that the asian girl was focusing on her circle. She maneuvered herself in front of the circle and looked straight into Tang Le's eyes. She would launch the fire right in the girl's face and perhaps light her hair ablaze.

Wisgraf was not as quick this time and Bumelia decided to use that to her advantage. Reaching into her pack, she pulled out a short 2x6 and attempted to warp it around Wisgraf's face into a featureless mask.

Dr. Weird marveled at the blast Epoch just generated as he side stepped some of the ceiling that was falling down around everyone.

“That was beautiful, with that kind of power you could rule over these pathetic beings. Yet you choose to shackle yourself like a dog and defend those who would no sooner put you down.” His face was looking at the new sky light Epoch gave the Oval Office.

In the sky the three Grappler Droids were now mere specks, one of which appeared to explode but there was no fire, it was just gone. The other two landed out on the White House lawn. Both were heavily damaged and could not continue the fight for Dr. Weird. Unbeknownst to everyone but the Doctor himself they began the self-destruct sequence. Dr. Weird didn’t like losing so when he did he made sure that the victory for other team was a hollow one. Given the size of the Grapple Droids they will annihilate anything in a 5ft radius. The explosives themselves were invented by Dr. Weird himself. Instead of an explosion, it's an implosion. Originating from the center it moves outward pulling in everything around it into a small localized black hole. The winds it generates will pull in anything not nailed down and will leave a spherical hole in its wake. Within few minutes the Grappler Droids will detonate taking anything with in range with them.

“You broke my toys,” Said Dr. Weird his smile turning to a grimace. “I guess this means I’ll have to make some adjustments to their armor, and that I’ll have to fight you myself, boy.”

He pointed his saber at Epoch, he gripped the handle tighter knowing he would have to watch out for those energy blast of his now. But he hoped he would see more, he wanted more data on what Epoch could do. This day was getting better and better.______________________________________________________________________________

There was debris everywhere. A huge hole had ripped its way through the ceiling and out to the open world. Epoch was immensely more powerful than Alyson had ever measured. She didn't have time to think, though. Tang had fired a blast at her.

Strawberry attempts to lunge out of the way, 1-5 it fails, 6-10 success

The Shock Rifle bolt blasted Alyson directly in the chest. She was thrown to the ground and writhed in pain. The electricity coursed through her body. Everything was numb for a second or two. It was as if her every inch was gradually falling asleep. Movement was difficult and she looked up at the girl who shot her.

Alyson started to crawl herself to her circle. Looking back as well as she could, Alyson attempted to lift a hand. She could hardly feel it. The electricity was like venom.

Epoch was impressed with himself. The blast was one of the biggest he had ever done. Doctor Weird now aimed a beam saber at him. The madman's words were sharp, but Epoch was being fueled by his anger now. He was happy that the debris failed to harm anyone and surveyed the room. Bumelia had the gray man scratching at his face for air. Strawberry was down, struggling to keep herself going.

"Strawberry, you can do this!" He shouted as the redhead popped off a fireball in Tang's direction.

Epoch looked back to his nemesis, "Doctor Weird, your days are numbered. I chain myself to these people because of their good, to stand against the evils of those like you. If humanity could save itself, I would let it. But the world needs me. You need me, Doctor, to stop you."

Epoch took a steady aim at the beam saber and watched the blue energies course around him.

A voice rang out over an intercom on President Jackson's desk, "President Jackson, it seems like the escaped Endowed from the HMRF's have started rioting and looting. Should we scramble all available forces?"

President Jackson looked like he had a bad taste in his mouth, "Send every motherfucker we've got," he said depressing a response button. He looked to President Obama and grimaced, "Got any tricks up your sleeve?"

President Obama hesitated and reached into his suit jacket. "I... I have one of... these," he pulled out a phone and placed a call. Someone on the other end received it immediately. President Obama continued into the receiver, "General... activate all necessary defense procedures."

Meanwhile at the White House

Sirens began to blair as military defense forces started to emerge throughout the city. Destroyer Droids and tanks mobilized to make siege on the White House. Furthermore, soldiers, police, and volunteers attempted to quell the escaped Endowed.

Epoch had launched another energy blast at Dr. Weird, though this one was smaller than the previous. This was a good chance to study these blasts’s some more, so Dr. Weird attempted to block the blast with his saber.

The energy blast had meet with the sabers blade. Dr. Weird had managed to deflect the blast away from him sending it out to the lawn and the nearest tree, splitting it in half.

Then he heard the sirens and being as he still was jacked into the security feed he could see the military converging on the White House.

“Looks like we are going to have some more playmates soon; and I am willing to bet that they aren't going to be happy to see either of us.” He then took a stance to ready himself for an attack. “I hope you will forgive the poor execution here, I still am in the middle of the training videos.”

Dr. Weird the lunged towards Epoch, in two strides he was there and threw a punch squarely at Epochs jaw.

Thank GOD! Le suddenly took in her surroundings. When the hell did a hole get blown in the wall? Le shook her head. No time for such thoughts, this chick could shoot fire and that meant she needed to be immobilized ASAP. Checking on her remaining poisons, she finds she still has some Jimsonweed extract. "Let's see how badly this affects you, Red. If you are lucky, you'll only hallucinate your death."

This is really bad, thought Wigraf, feeling the pain from the multiple splinters, not to mention the suffocating wooden mask that had fromed arounf his face. With his enhanced strength, Wigraf forcefully ripped the wooden mask from his face with a snarl. I need to end this quickly.

Springing from his position, Wigraf swung a wide arced blow at his opponent with the floor lamp.
